but ship with better shields doesn't always win. Executor was way better shielded than MC-80 and still they penetrated it's shields.

SO if an MC-80 with less shields and firepower could take out the Exec's shields, then couldnt a ship with almost identical firepower and, we will say for now, the same shielding power easily?

Yes, Meyer, you kind of just lost the argument for yourself.

The movies aren't always very accurate to what actually would have happened, it's all for the plot.
The shield strength was probably very close, but the Viscount would take down the Executor's shields before the Viscount's went down due to redundancy and the 50 extra ion cannons. 50 extra conc missile launchers wouldn't be all that great against capital ships, they had limited loads of conc missiles, and if you look at the Battle of Coruscant, you can see just how much damage one missile can do to a Venator's hull.

and in the movie Executor went down because a lucky pilot was able to steer his fighter right in the Executors bridge. if that hadn't happened I think they would have had much more fighting to do.

Yeah but the shields were already down, and the entire rebel fleet was shootin at the Executor, it wouldn't have stayed combat effective for all that much more

Im not sure the pilot would agree that he/she was lucky $:-\$

well let's say rebels were lucky that the pilot rammed the bridge. and Executor was nowhere near being destroyed.

Back to Executor vs Viscount, not Executor that died at Endor

Kratas · « **Reply #29 on:** August 28, 2007, 10:31:42 AM »

to be honest it depends on the pilots and captains of the ships
but remember imp pilots were just as good as rebel pilots thier ships just wernt as good

Meyer · « **Reply #30 on:** August 28, 2007, 11:00:48 AM »

good point you make, Kratas. of course Executor wins Viscount if the captain and the crew of the viscount are rookies and imperial crew are veterans commanded by good captain. and it goes vice versa.

Kratas · « **Reply #31 on:** August 28, 2007, 11:10:13 AM »

well that wasnt quite what i meant
you got the captain bit right but in terms of oilots i meant that imp pilots can be just as good as rebel pilots

Meyer · « **Reply #32 on:** August 28, 2007, 12:35:20 PM »

ah. I think some imp pilots were way better than rebel pilots. rebels were lucky to have shields. How did Emperor even think he could stop the YV with ships that don't have shilelds.

sarcronis · « **Reply #33 on:** August 28, 2007, 12:40:38 PM »

Shields really didn't help at first against the YV.

By sheer number probably.

But that's off topic..

If the crews were the same the Excecutor would win.

Scarecrow you have changed my mine.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #37 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:48:24 PM »

I just dont see the big advantgae the Executor has, the only advantage it may have at all is fighters only because we dont know the Viscounts fighter capacity

Meyer · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2007, 07:41:34 AM »

and that Executor had better shields. and would propably have a better trained and motivated crew. propably even more experienced one.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2007, 11:14:57 AM »

What makes you think Executor has better shields, i want one good reason to support that

Poll

Which one would win a battle?
